Hey, I'm Chris! I know, my username is terrible. It's the medical definition of chills, or goosebumps. I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea, but whatever.

Anyway, I'm pretty simple, I guess. If I was a shampoo, I probably wouldn't sting your eyes. But I have a lot of interests. Not hobbies, interests. "Hobbies cost money, interests are quite free." -George Carlin.

My favorite places are park benches. More notably, park benches in the autumn. I like the little moments in life.

What I’m doing with my life

"Don't overthink this one, ..."

This site does not know me.

I’m really good at

When I was young, I could have told you it was anything artistic. Things change, though. I still find time for music, but apartment living drastically reduces the amount of instruments I can play. Really really makes me miss my drums.

I've always been pretty good at soccer, too. Although I haven't played in a long time. I don't follow any teams or watch it on TV or anything like that, either, though. It's just the only sport that I've ever actually enjoyed playing and that I was any good at.

I've also been told repeatedly by numerous people that I look like Tyson Ritter. I've also heard Jared Leto and Cillian Murphy. I only wish I looked like any of them, but hey. You saw it, now you can't unsee it!

I can't really give a list of bands that I like. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I really just like songs anymore. Someone help.

The music I listen to is usually nostalgic and cinematic. Bittersweet and instrumental. Lots of 80's stuff and baroque classical. Cheesy power metal, too. So, whatever that is.My first CD ever was the Mortal Kombat soundtrack.
